The design of it encompasses Doppler radars connected to a wireless star LAN, which feed the information to several display units across the road. The latter assist the vehicles in their trip, giving them vital information. Therefore risky acts turn to be safe, as for instance the effort to overtake the preceding slow vehicle. The E-a-R system provides numerous important advantages, among them we may number accident elimination, safe trips, traffic decongestion, trip estimation, pre-travel information etc. The use of optical sensors leads the system to optical engineering and opto-mechatronics.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130526230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most correlation filter designs are based on optimization criteria that lead to a closed form filter solution. We remove this restriction of a closed form solution and introduce a new filter design approach, based on a margin of separation maximization formulated as a linear support vector machine (SVM). The resulting SVM classifier is of the form of a correlation filter which has some attractive attributes, such as linearity and shift-invariance (properties that traditional SVM classifiers lack). We also show that our proposed SVM correlation filter offers built-in noise tolerance, which is valuable for any recognition task where noise can be present. More importantly, we demonstrate that we can achieve good generalization using only a single image for training. We compare our proposed filter design to popular advanced correlation filter designs and show the increase in performance of our proposed method by testing on two well known face databases (CMU-AMP lab facial expression database and the CMU-PIE illumination dataset consisting of faces of 65 people).","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127028516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers and biologists interested in the sequence information for a particular organism can retrieve their data from these multiple sources. However, selecting the right sources, in consideration of speed and availability, for a particular task is often a very hard decision. Moreover, there are different platforms and organization of data in the biological realm, making it a hindrance for interchanging information from one platform to another. So, integration of these distributed sources, with the major industry standard, is an urgent necessity faced by the biological community. Proposed here is a system that retrieves sequence data from multiple sources depending on their speed at the time of issuing the query thereby avoiding fetching data from the sites that are facing technical difficulty or delay. Moreover, the proposed system utilises the power of XML based technology, like XQuery, XSL for compliance with the industry standard and system extensibility.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124475037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in contrast with the snake-based ACMs, we do not use an explicit energy functional based on gradient or intensity. The algorithm is tested on synthetic binary and gray-level images, and the results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over other conventional SOM- and snake-based ACM algorithms.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128102648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately the traditional schema theorem (Holland, J.H., 1975) does not take into account the positive effects of a schema construction through crossover operation. Recently, some works have been done by considering the schema construction, but they could not well characterize the evolution of a schema via crossover. We propose a new representation of a schema, called ternary representation, through which the survival and construction probabilities of a schema are given out. Eventually, we present a new improved schema theorem that considers both schema survival and construction in a uniform crossover.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133972933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also present a completely localised data management framework that helps capture information about traffic patterns in the network. This information is subsequently used by AI-LMAC to modify its operation. The data management-framework can additionally be used for efficient query dissemination and query optimisation.

RFID labelling the pieces of the drill string allows the recording of usage and location data at a particular depth of the drill head, aiding in the planning of a rotation scheme, so that any one particular section is not constantly at a position of high stress. Such RFID tags embedded in metal may be used for other metal asset tracking applications. Previous work (Pope, G. et al., Proc. 1st Ann. Wireless and Portable Design Conf., p.240, 1997; Cole, P.H. and Hall, D.M., \"Metal Screened Electronic Labelling System\", PCTWO0005675, PCT/AU99/00587) has been performed at HF frequencies but there is increasing interest in UHF frequencies as the frequency of choice for object tracking (Cole and Hall). We show that suitable antennas can be made from capacitor structures sensitive to electric fields perpendicular to the metal surface. An HFSS simulation environment for antenna applications was used to relate simulated results to known empirical results from both publications and their own experiments. Both the simulations and the measurements indicate that the antenna concept is suited to the application.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"14 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120816659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
